Nobody pays them?

they could have done it in sidechain easily or launch their own chain - their are PAID by bankers to do it mainnet as penetration testing to verify resiliency of bitcoin code. that all about it

I dislike ordinal inscriptions. They are a lame manifestation of degenerate shitcoiners that are just smart enough to realize Bitcoin is GOAT always seeking new ways to ride its coattails and snatch corn from degens by claiming their imaginary/arbitrary numbering system makes one sat special over another

In reality there is no such thing as “a sat” anyway. There are entries in the ledger, but you can’t just single one satoshi out unless you make a 1 sat utxo which is also stupid

Gfy

Since I'm not a mindreader I prefer to keep some amount of uncertainty in regards to the inner workings of other people.

I have deep concerns about the motivations of Elon due to his support for Doge coin (an obvious scam) and his wish to make Twitter into an everything app, with clear references to the Chinese WeChat surveillance and CBDC app. That's a very dark path to embark upon.

On the flip side, I remember when it was popular to hate on Jack Dorsey for allowing Twitter censorship. While Jack had a deep responsibility in that situation it became obvious over time that he didn't see any winning move within the regulatory framework that Twitter operated, except for opting out and going full Bitcoin.

Elon's deeper motivations in acquiring Twitter is likely aligned with its potential as a database feeding AI with weighted conversational data. The new Tesla AI Grok is accessing Twitter in real time.

The obvious fallout of Elon's focus to make Twitter an everything app + a source of data for AI, is that it becomes a honeypot for government regulations. He cannot be unaware that governments will not allow Twitter to become some sort of alternate universe where their regulations cannot reach.

Only decentralized tech like Bitcoin and Nostr can be successful in challenging the regulatory leviathans. It is not plausible that Elon will win against government regulations, even if we assumed that he had good intentions.

The most favorable interpretation of Elon's endeavor would be that he believes that Twitter and Grok AI can play a useful role in allowing some modicum of free speech on a large platform. Yet, even such an interpretation would require asking the question: what happens when Twitter and Grok are fully regulatory captured? It seems likely that this would merely be a matter of time.

At the end of the day, even under the most favorable interpretation, Elon is playing with dark forces of regulation.

Following the advice of Tolkien; no man can be trusted in wielding the ring of power.

The only liberty option is to decentralize power via Bitcoin and decentralized media like Nostr.

This is interesting. Using the bitcoin sign as an illusion in the background and a prompt for the foreground. Thanks for this, I’ll check it out !

What a f***ckin masterpiece!
